Uggie's Oscar collar to be auctioned off for a good cause

Tuesday

There were plenty of stars on hand during the Oscars this past Sunday, but one four-legged celebrity managed to steal the show - again.

Uggie, the talented pooch from "The Artist," was on hand for the award ceremony and even joined his co-stars onstage when the film took home the trophy for Best Picture.

And although Uggie may not have been all decked out in a tuxedo, he did have on a very special collar for his big night in Hollywood.

During the Oscars, Uggie wore a custom-designed Chopard collar that featured a black satin bow tie with an 18-karat gold charm inscribed with the famous dog's name.

But Uggie has no plans to keep the collar all to himself. In fact, the piece will be auctioned off to the public and the proceeds will benefit The Amanda Foundation, an animal rescue organization located in Beverly Hills.

Chopard co-president Caroline Scheufele said that she was happy to design the special collar, especially knowing it would help support an animal organization.

She said, "I was completely charmed by Uggie's role in 'The Artist.' Knowing that Uggie is a rescue dog, it inspired me to create a unique piece to benefit an important cause."

We will update this post with more information about the auction once it becomes available.
